The Shoulder Suspension of Bipedal Humans and the Head Suspension of Quadrupedal Cats: A Reconstruction of Macroevolutionary Changes of Complex Systems Based on Natural Experiments, Comparative Anatomy, and Biomechanical Analyses of Extant Organisms
The biological processes in macroevolutionary transformations, which result in the origin of new species and supraspecific taxa, are not directly observable in organisms with long reproductive generations and need to be extrapolated and reconstructed from physiological, anatomical, and microevolutio...
